Let me do the clarification first. Columbus College of Art and Design is not part of Ohio State, no matter how much my smartasshattery implied that to at least a few of the congraulatory commenters.

And yet, when you're getting comments and "likes" throughout the day on your kid's marvelous, wonderful, no-bad, very-good news from the day before, it's really hard to get to the homicidal-maniac level of your psyche. So thank you for that, Em, and thank you, God, for giving me a new sunrise 12 or so hours from now that has little choice but to bring a better day about.

I hope tomorrow is better!
